19a West Register Street,
Edinburgh,

All Bar One
29–31 George Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 2PA
Once upon a time, All Bar One was the fresh-faced, exclusive bar-about-town frequented by apple flirtini-sipping suits. While never quite diverting the gastro-pub experts, it did embed the wine bar-diner concept in the nation's consciousness. But the…

24–26 The Shore,
Edinburgh,

Favorit
19–20 Teviot Place,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2QZ
Favorit is a late night diner for the young and hip and – most importantly – for those with the munchies. Black and white chequered tiles, retro tables and benches and a large, red neon Favorit sign set the scene. All that's missing is Pulp Fiction's…

Iglu
2b Jamaica Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 6HH

The Abbotsford
3 Rose Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 2PR

Edinburgh,
EH1 3RH

The Cambridge Bar

Edinburgh,
EH2 4JB

Candy Bar
113–115 George Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 4JN
Aimed squarely at the pretty young things, the Candy Bar really is the cheeky twinkle in the eye of Edinburgh's George Street. There's an air of backstreet chic about the place, with the emphasis on drinking and having a good time rather than eating.
Ecco Vino
19 Cockburn Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1BP
